Being a vegan or not is a matter of choice. We all have various reasons for being either a vegan or not. Many become vegan as a result of health status or based on their health conditions while others reasons are because they want to protect animals. Their love for animals could not permit them to consume animal products.
I am not a vegan because I eat animal products, I really love eating meat and eggs. I don't think I can stay without eating animal products. This is because I grew up to become used to eating animal products. In fact I can't eat a meal without meat or egg, that's how much I love eating animal products. If I'm told to become a vegan, it will really be difficult for me to adjust to such kind of lifestyle. I don't even think I can attempt becoming one, it will seem as if I'm punishing myself. Irrespective of this, I don't castigate does who are vegans. I believe everyone has their reasons and choices.
I have never attempted becoming a vegan and I never had thought of one but I have relatives who became vegan as a result of their various health conditions. Even though it was difficult at first but they later got used to it because they had no choice. As we all know health is wealth, everyone will try at all costs to regain their state of health even if it warrants becoming a vegan.
If am privileged to attempt being a vegan, I don't think I can stay for more than two days without eating animal products not especially when mum just fried a chicken. I could remember countless times when fried chicken got missing in the house, she knows I'm the one who would have taken them. I'm sure she will be surprised if I declare to her that I'm now a vegan, she won't believe me, in fact, none of my family members would believe me because they all know I love eating meat and eggs so much. They will all take me for a joke because they know how much I love eating animal products.
I remember a friend of mine who became vegan due to religious belief, At first, we all taught it was a joke until she stopped eating animal product totally. It was a big issue for her and her parent because her parent was against such belief. Everyone thought of talking her out of such believe but every attempt was in vain. She's a grown adult and i believe she understands what she was doing, at the end we all accepted the new change about her and everything went well at the end.

To some they believe being a vegan is a way of staying healthy, in my opinion, I won't say being a vegan means living healthier, the most important thing is having a balanced diet and staying healthy. We all have our choice to make, either being a vegan or not, the most important thing is staying healthy.
